The Titans lost Cortland Finnegan to the St. Louis Rams in free agency and have a void to fill at the cornerback spot. Kirkpatrick is a physical presence who can take over for the departed Finnegan and be a great cover corner. He's best in press-man coverage which the Titans like to run. Alterraun Verner has been an opportunistic play maker, but Jason McCourty would be better suited as a nickel corner; this would allow him to play in that role and give the Titans a top level cornerback. Wisconsin center Peter Konz and LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers would both also fill needs and represent good value at this pick but Kirkpatrick does as well.
